The continuous failures Sadeera and Maheesh Theekshana should be sent to the nets for practices and the selectors should include Wellalage to the team.

Where is Dunith Wellalage in this Line up. He is doing well as a bowler and very technically correct batman and we all know Prabath Jayasuriya failed in New Zealand. We need good spinners in the side not lot of fast bowlers

SL must adjust to suit the conditions in England where pitches are friendly and conducive for fast bowlers. Too much of spinners.

Dunith wellalage should be in this squad!! He deserves a spot, in the squad. He can bowl well And bat well. Selectors are doing totally injustice to the kid. There's no reason other than pure ignorancy by the selectors, Yeah.

Both of them played well in England and New Zealand, quite well. For replacements, you can name two players to ponder.

I feel players who performed well against Afganistan A have been ignored particularly when Sadeera Samarawickrama is concerned.
